| Alchemy Hut Construction |
| It is now possible to create an alchemy hut! Condition: Meet someone who will be your mentor. Points Required: 5 |
The alchemy hut can now be built!
I get to know Nowald-sensei so the condition was met.
Right. I can’t stay still like this. I need to build the alchemy hut right away!
I’m always excited when I build a new facility. It was the same with the game, but when it comes to reality, the excitement is more than 100 times greater. The drowsiness that enveloped my head disappeared like a fog clearing, and I swiftly jumped out of bed.
“Good morning, Father……”
Char is rubbing her sleepy eyes.
“Good morning, Char. I’m going to build an alchemy hut this morning!”
“Yes~, let’s make it right away…… Char will have bread and an alchemy hut. (Mumble, mumble) ……”
I hugged Char, who is not yet fully awake, and climbed down the ladder in the loft.
Nowald-sensei was already awake and he greeted us in the living room.
“Good morning, Cedie. I heard an encouraging news. You said you are going to build an alchemy hut?”
Sensei seems to think I’m going to do carpentry.
“That’s right, Nowald-sensei. It looks like I can activate my special ability, so I’m going to give it a try.”
“When you say special ability, are you talking about magic?”
Nowald-sensei seemed intrigued, and he looked into my eyes with his deep blue eyes.
“Mmm, it definitely consumes magical power, but I don’t think it fits into the general concept of magic.”
“Hmm, that’s really interesting.”
“Well, it’s hard to explain it in words. Sensei, if you are interested, I think it’s best for you to see it in person.”
“Hoh-, let’s take a look at your special ability, then.”
Sensei wanted to see it, so we went out with him.
According to the status screen, the alchemy hut could be built a short distance from the cottage. To be exact, it is about 50 meters up the path from the cottage to the cave.
When we went to the site according to the map guide in my status screen, I found a place where the ground is sparkling.
Apparently, this is where I will build it.
“Alright, I will unleash my ability now. It is better not to look at it directly because the brightness is blinding.”
Having made a disclaimer, I allocated points to the ground.
The resulting alchemy hut was far from flattering. It was a sturdy-looking stone building, but the windows, doors, and other fittings could only be described as shabby, and it looked like a breeze would blow in. But Nowald-sensei is delighted.
“It’s amazing that such magic exists! It’s indeed a special ability.”
“Is there anyone else who has this kind of magic?”
“I can’t really say much about it because my specialty is in alchemy, and this is the first time I’ve seen such a phenomenon. I’ve seen a few of them in books, though.”
“Is there such a record?”
“Yes. There are some incredible records of a genie who lives in a lamp building a castle overnight.”
That’s like the Arabian Nights!
Still, a castle in one night……
Compared to that, my alchemy hut may not be a big deal after all.
If I accumulate a lot of points and improve the level of the island and myself, I wonder if I will be able to turn a small cottage into a castle someday.
I can’t remember if I was able to do that at Island Maker. But it’s not bad to have that dream. Someday, I’d like to build a big castle in the middle of this island.
“Let’s go inside.”
I opened the door excitedly.
The floor of the room was also paved with stones. I’m sure it’s designed to withstand chemical spills and small explosions.
“Hoh-, it looks like all the basic lab equipment are in here too.”
Nowald-sensei is inspecting a workbench lined with beakers and flasks. There were also colorful jars of reagents on the wall.
“Father, there is a big pot here! Do we cook here?”
“No, Char. This is the place to do alchemy.”
“Alchemy?”
“It’s a place where magic and chemical experiments are done.”
“Oh~, magic?”
“Speaking of which, can Char use magic?”
Dragons should be able to use elemental magic, but what about yellow dragons?
“Hmm~, Char can use three types of attacks, strong kick, strong punch and strong tail!”
It’s not magic, but the power of her attack can be said to be at maximum level.
I can even say that it is on par with magic…..
“Well, Char is a strong child.”
“Yes, that’s right! I’ll protect Father!”
Maybe even Char could use magic, but that’s still a long way off.
There was also a bedroom at the back of the hut, so I decided to have Nowald-sensei use it during his stay here.
This hut can also be upgraded from alchemy hut → an alchemy workshop → an alchemy laboratory.
Someday, when I accumulate more points, I want to upgrade it.
“Sensei, I’ll take you to the cave after breakfast.”
“Oh right, that’s the place you told me yesterday. You said that you collected strawberry stones there.”
“Yes. I have to collect some strawberry stones today and sell them.”
At the moment, my goal is buying livestock. In order to have a rich diet, I have to buy chickens and goats from Paul-oniisan.
A female rooster costs 2,000 crowns, and a female goat costs 30,000 crowns. My cash on hand at the moment is only 10,000 crowns so I still have a lot to earn.
After eating breakfast and working in the fields, we went straight ahead to explore the cave.
I feel like I am going to have a fulfilling day today.
